Does Anyone want to help add on to my argument for abortion? Need it for a debate. I'd like if you could find arguments for pro-
RSB [31]
I’m not sure what pro-life argument to add. Science suggests that fetuses don’t feel pain until the 6th month. They’re not aware that they’re alive. They have neurotransmitters or spinal fluids, their spine is barely developed until then, which is why most abortions aren’t done after that period. Roe vs Wade act is a human right. Other than that, the only excuses you could make for being pro-life is religion, but that isn’t fact so only use that in your writing if it’s a biased report.
